Evacuating a Disk
This feature is similar to disk replacement, but it involves moving the
contents of the volumes on one dynamic disk to another dynamic disk. If
a disk begins to fail, you can attempt to protect/preserve the volumes on
that disk by evacuating the disk. You can also evacuate a disk if you plan
to remove the disk or use the disk elsewhere. The other dynamic disk
does not have to be empty. The active redundant volumes on the
replacement disk will be synchoronized automatically.
